Colombia extradites "La Negra", sister of drug trafficker "Otoniel", to US
Colombian authorities extradited Nini Johana Usuga, nicknamed "La Negra", to the United States on Friday. The woman is the sister of Dairo Antonio Usuga, alias "Otoniel", who was considered the most dangerous drug trafficker in the world at the time of his arrest.
The handover of Usuga to American justice forms part of the continuous efforts by the Colombian government against international drug trafficking and transnational criminal organisations. According to information released by Reuters, the operation took place on Friday.
"Otoniel" led the Clan del Golfo, one of the main drug trafficking structures in Colombia, before being detained by the South American country's security forces. The extradition of his sister represents a new blow against the family network linked to this cartel.
American authorities had requested the handover of the suspect to face charges related to alleged drug trafficking offences.
